Ep. 66: Teaching Our Daughters about Money - and Realistic Expectations for Marriage (with Kim Anderson) Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

One big source of conflict in marriage is financial stress. Even 2 people raised in the same socioeconomic class can have drastically different ideas about money - and how to spend it. Shaped by social media and an age of affluence, many girls treat their dates like an ATM machine and aspire to a materialistic lifestyle their young husbands can't afford. They have unrealistic expectations that lead to arguments, disillusionment, and debt. Join Kari and Kim Anderson as they discuss ways to help your daughter build healthy ideas about money and learn the value of a dollar.

Ep. 64: The Good Girl in Comparison (with Mary Lauren Burdeshaw) Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

As humans, we long to believe we are good. And for teens especially, it's tempting to gauge yourself against peers and think you're doing well when your choices aren't as bad as their choices. You're considered a "good girl" or "good guy," but what you really are is a good girl/guy in comparison. God calls us to a higher standard. He wants us to look at Jesus, not people, when seeing where we have room to improve. Join Kari and Mary Lauren as they talk about virtue and not settling for a life of spiritual mediocrity.
